The workaround to put export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 in my .bashrc also for me
on 14.04 with the following versions:

    $ ssh -V
    OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
    $ uname -a
    Linux mycomputer 3.13.0-40-generic #69-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 13 17:53:56 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Title:
  SSH client requires SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 will not work without it, can't
  use key auth without SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I expect that when using key based authentication I do $ssh user@0.0.0.0 I expect to be asked for the key password.  Instead I get Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
  Permission denied (publickey).

  Using SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 solves the problem allowing me to be asked for
  the key password.

  What should happen is that I should not have to specify
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK=0 on the CLI, I should only have to type $ user@0.0.0.0
